Home again (Surraruthru)

[Ebiris]

Afina blinks, caught on the hop by that one. "Ahh... actually they were more for Kascha?" she says apologetically. "It's nothing to do with Goldenfire in general, we have some embers that need to be forged into a key, it's to do with getting ready for helping Seira and Alicia with their joint project."

[Anastasia]

"Ah," A look to Kascha, "Kascha and I can sort that out ourselves. In the meantime, were there any more questions?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I have some. As I said, I'm interested in following Seira's footsteps. She made Goldenfire part of her; made it her own. I desire to do the same. Is it a matter of exposure and enduring it, or is there a way I can gain affinity for it and make it my own? I imagine gaining an affinity with fire would help, in general. It's part of why I desire to become a Celestial. Goldenfire is both holy and fire."

[Anastasia]

"There's many paths to goldenfire," Lady Armaryl admits, "Seira found it through her own research and power, but she's exceptional. My advice would be to complete and adapt to the transformation first, as that being fully integrated into yourself will make everything else easier."

Surraruthru nods.

"Understood. I'm just looking to plan a path out. My other questions concern dragons, but they can wait. I'm ready to proceed with the ritual if there's nothing else."

[Anastasia]

Anything else for you two to do or is it ritual time?

[Iron Dragoon]

Ritual for me, Eb?

[Ebiris]

I got nothing

[Anastasia]

Surraruthru is put onto a stone ritual table, Amaryl chanting and working. It's a long ritual and...

Going to just go with it, observe or do something else?

[Ebiris]

Afina will just loiter around.

[Iron Dragoon]

I'll observe and try to learn as much as I can.

Spellcraft. Gearless so remove any bonuses from that, including stat boosters increasing Intelligence. Next post will go into it, but the ritual requires no magical items on you.

The ritual is quite complex. Some of it's impossible to replicate easily - directly drawing on divine power and Good itself. But you do get a few basic ideas of the structure as it goes on. You are clad only in a white gown (one that fits a dragon, no less) and told to lay down. You are purified and anointed with oils, blessed seven times and then gently lulled to sleep.

Then your world is awash in fire and power.

Okay, OOC time. You gain the half celestial template, including 4 levels of LA to payoff. You have the following options.

1. Retrain 4 levels into half celestial and sort it out that way. While you're under the hood, you can do any other retraining you want.

2. You can use the next four levels to pay for it on one side of your gestalt. If you do that, no retraining, since if you're going to retrain, I'd rather you just pay them off now instead of later.

3. A third option if you have a better idea.

I'll pay it off now, but it'll take me a bit to get everything hashed out.
